the problem with a "recon" engine is that recon doesnt really mean anything. ask them how they recon the engine, what do they do exactly. 9 times out of 10 a recon engine is just a working engine that they have done nothing to, or a faulty engine that they have fixed. you might as well get one from a scrapyard and save money.

Dave French (Engine Services) works at the same unit Intaservices occupy in Leicester. Try giving him a call regarding reparing and reconditioning your existing engine. He's another top bloke and a megga Italian car nut

Otherwise, folk like Autolusso will do you a complete swap for &#163;1500 all in

I agree entirely.

I'm currently in the middle of replaceing an engine for a friend of mine. He has a silly jap import mitsusushi MPV..... Its an odd piece of kit: 2.2 turbo diesel with 4wd and a slush box. He spent weeks looking for a decent engine for it (cam belt) and eventually found a "fully reconditioned engine with 36k on it" down south.

When it turned up we found that none of the belts had been replaced and it had literally been ripped out of the car. The cam covers where cracked and holed, there was broken pipes everywhere, the loom had been chpped in half etc etc. It was(is) a mess.
